This was probably the first time Hermione used the word "other" to refer to Maca.

And from the moment she said it, it probably meant that she would no longer give all her trust to the young man in front of him who was a classmate, a close friend, and a teacher as she had always done.

Yes, in her Hermione Granger's heart, the mark belonging to Maca McLean may never actually be erased completely. But at least from now on, every time she faces each other, her feelings towards each other will no longer be as flawless as before.

Is this simply because the two sides have differences in ideas? No, obviously not. Perhaps under the surface of Hermione’s inability to agree with the other party’s plan anyway, what really shakes her is that the other party always wants to solve all the problems alone and refuses to let her participate in it. The posture of "I want to protect you".

Regardless of whether it is for her or for the good of them all, in short, any effort like this seems to be a vain feeling, it is really bad!

Of course, Hermione at this moment didn't seem to really realize this.

"...Harry, don't be impulsive. But...I think you are right, he...not Maca!"

Hermione stared directly at the sturdy black figure standing in front of the throne, holding her wand in one hand, and dragging Harry with the other, trying to get the latter to move away as much as possible-even though Harry had already removed his The Gryffindor sword was placed on the opponent's neck, but she had an instinct, but this might not be able to threaten the opponent at all, but would put Harry himself in danger.

Regardless of whether or not Maca is in front of him, obviously he must be an extremely powerful object! After all, even if you put aside the uncertain soul inside, the body of the devil alone is enough to make people extremely vigilant, isn't it?

However, Hermione soon discovered that she couldn't pull Harry at all!

Although Harry had been stopped by Ginny's shout just now, the power of the Gryffindor sword had already awakened his inner anger. It would be great to be able to forcibly hold the reins on the edge of the cliff that was about to fall into the vortex of war. At this time, he had to retreat. At least with Harry's current self-control ability, it was obviously impossible to do it.

But at this moment, everyone heard the low and hoarse voice and suddenly spoke again:

"Hermione, why are you stopping Harry? Let him give me a sword. This meeting tonight that seems to make you all somewhat unpleasant... it can be over."

He said.

"Then, you can no longer have any scruples about what you want to do in the future."

Is the man in front of him wearing a demon skin really not Maca, but the despicable Helbo?

For the time being, Harry put aside-with the influence of the Gryffindor sword, his judgment must be unable to maintain absolute rationality. As for the others in the room like Hermione, to be honest, everyone didn't really think that the demon inside must not be Maca.

It’s just that whether it’s from the point of view of herself and others as a member of human beings, or from the standpoint of the zombie girl who watched as one of the twins of the zombie resolutely dedicate her soul and life, if we do this series of actions tonight If the person is really Maca.

Such a development is obviously unacceptable to most people present.

So everyone was always silent, whether it was Lupin, Kingsley, Ginny, Hannah, Ron, etc., everyone gave the right to speak tonight to Hermione and Harry. Because they are not only the strongest among all the human wizards present, but also the two who have the best relationship with Maca.

"...No, actually... there is also Miss Lovegood."

In front of the crowd in the center of the hall, Lupin seemed to have thought of something, subconsciously glanced at the blond figure who was still standing in front of the stairs, but then shook his head secretly.

Compared to Harry, who was indignant and Hermione, who was trying her best to be rational, the girl didn't seem to care about the actual situation at all. She just expressed support for Maca wholeheartedly from beginning to end, and everything else is right or wrong, nothing has to do with her.

Speaking of the relationship with Maca, perhaps only she is the most prominent among all the people present! Is this kind of trust that seems unreserved, really good?

Lupin still didn't have any plans to express his opinion, he just closed his mouth and watched in silence, frowning.

And just at this moment, another person suddenly uttered again, and the cold words sounded through the whole hall.

"McLean, have you played enough?"

It was Snape, or rather, it was him—today he appeared in London with an unknown reason that made others very confused. He just happened to make this special meeting as if he had been calculated, but he still has One can't figure out his ultimate goal.

But one thing is undoubtedly certain, even if Harry and Hermione have questioned the identity of the one in front of the throne, at the moment Snape spoke, but still very decisively called him "McLean".

Just when the big guys were uncomfortable, Snape raised his head slightly and continued:

"If you want to do something, then do it quickly! I personally will not support you or anything, but I will not deliberately obstruct... I think Professor McGonagall has the same idea on this point. I know, this time You deliberately gathered all of us here, so now, on behalf of Hogwarts, on behalf of Hogwarts, in any form of plan you will execute next...keep out of the way."

Having said these words, Snape seemed to have finally completed any of his trips. When com saw his voice, he immediately turned around, and walked straight to the entrance of the hall. He actually wanted to leave directly.

No one stopped him. The living corpse did not stop him, and the human wizard, headed by Lupin and Hermione, just watched, watching him as usual with his black cloak driving in the wind, striding away gradually. .

Only Maca, looking at Snape's fading back, gently nodded.

"As expected of Professor Snape."

I don't know what he is "deserving" of.

After a while, watching the temple door opened and closed again, Maca looked at the silver blade still resting on his shoulders and neck, and suddenly sighed silently.

Afterwards, he simply pulled the Gryffindor sword away, and then stood up again.

"Since you are not in a hurry to drop the sword, let's let it go first!" Maca said as he passed between Harry, who was glaring at him, and Hermione who was still in a dilemma, for the first time tonight. Step up and down the steps.
